TrueCaller: How does it work.?

Automatically Block Out Top Spammers or Harassing Numbers

Our Community is full of over 100 million Truecaller users ready and willing to help each other put an end to telemarketers and fraudulent calls. Our Community Block List is comprised of real-time reports of spam, fraud, and harassment calls. If a number is blocked and reported a certain number of times, it is automatically added to our Top Spammer List.



In addition to our Top Spammer List, we also provide a personal spam list that our users can modify on their own Truecaller app. If a Truecaller user in India blocks a number – that same number will be flagged as spam if a user in England gets a call from that specific number. If it gets flagged enough times by our users, it will end up on the Top Spammer List and automatically blocked for all 100 million users.

The best part? You can see how many other Truecaller users have blocked and reported that number!



Permission Based
Numbers are shown as ‘private’ by default (unless publicly available already on another source). There are 3 types of privacy settings all Truecaller users should pay attention to when they set up their Truecaller. This is ‘Who Can Get My Contact Details?’

• All Truecaller Users: This is a great option for businesses and people who are open to networking. All Truecaller users are able to instantly receive your contact information you provide. You will receive a notification showing the name of the Truecaller user that has received your contact details, and their phone number. 
• Friends of Friends: This option makes it easy for quick sharing of details amongst friends. Only friends of your friends can instantly receive your contact information that you provide. Other users not connected to your friends will need to be approved. You will receive a notification showing which friend of a friend (including their phone number) has received your contact detail.
• Request Only: Every person must be approved by you in order to receive any of your contact information.

Please note that these privacy settings are in direct relations with Name Search. This is because Truecaller never shows a non-public number without your permission.
Choose Who Can Get Your Contact Details

Contact Requests work much like other types of requests, whereas the person on the other side of the request must accept before any contact information is exchanged. You cannot get a number from Truecaller without the owner of the number approving your request.




Live Caller ID with Verified Badge

Contact requests help monitor who is trying to get in contact with you, and it is up to you to give access to your contact details, block, or take action and call the person.

Contact Requests

Identify Who Is Verified

Verified Badge

This is a crucial step in deciding who is on the other side of the phone. Truecaller offers a ‘verified badge,’ which means based on a Truecaller algorithm, increases likelihood of the true identity. The verification badge shows the number has been verified through a social media profile, and also through the Truecaller Community of over 100 million users.

Claim Your Phone Number Even with the latest technology and social media, our main source of communication that has been left unchanged for decades is the telephone number. We all have one. So why not personalize it?
Step 1: If you are a mobile phone user, simply download the Truecaller app for free from your app store and register your number. This way, anyone who might not have your number in their phone (old friends, new business opportunities, and colleagues) will be able to greet you, and not let your unknown number go to voice mail.
Step 2: Fill out your Truecaller number profile with different information options for what you want to display.

New face of TrueCaller, More features more user friendly.

Replace Your Phonebook with the New Truecaller

---

The phonebook is a critical tool for billions of people who use it on a daily basis - but despite all of today’s advanced technology, little has been done to make the mobile experience more intelligent, relevant and personal.

Truecaller started off as an app to identify numbers and block unwanted calls, but we understand our users are not just using the app for those two actions: they are replacing their phonebooks with Truecaller. Many people do not bother saving phone numbers anymore, because they rely on the ability of Truecaller to find the right contact information, and identify the name behind a number, regardless of it being saved into their phone.

We’ve listened to how our users are using the service, and we wanted to redesign the app to provide easier discovery and simpler navigation, not to mention lighter memory consumption! The new Truecaller will completely transform your mobile phonebook experience with a smarter set of features that will improve your daily life. This has been a natural evolution in how people have been using the Truecaller app, and now, you have all the current information on people and businesses you need without ever having to leave the app.

As we announce accomplishing our 100 million user milestone today, we also release a newly designed Truecaller app for Android (other platform updates coming soon, don't worry!)

Smarter Search and Discovery Now you can search within your contacts as well as names and numbers beyond your existing contacts with an extensive list of more than 1.5 billion contacts.
Easily Place Calls and Send Texts A new user interface makes staying connected easier than ever before. Just swipe left to text or swipe right to place a call on your contacts. This one-step process makes it so you can stay in touch faster and more conveniently.

Suggested Contacts Truecaller can now predict who you may want to reach and make relevant suggestions based on call history, time, or location. The more you use it, the smarter it gets!





Complete Contact Profiles Your phonebook will always be up to date with relevant information by adding social media profiles and photos, so you have all the contact information you need in one central place.
